A new feature of Nintendo of America's website, Nintendo Direct will contain videos discussing new announcements and upcoming games, straight from Nintendo. We don't know how often this will update, but I'll try and update the thread when a new announcement hits.

Saku - It still needs some of the more well known titles from the big series to help them out. I haven't bought a 3DS game myself since probably Hyrule Warriors back in March. The console still has had a steady flow of quality titles from lesser brands, but it still needs the big guns too. Which is something they see from Wooly World I suppose. I think they gave up on the Wii U a long time ago since they handled it very poorly.

Gotenks Yeah, but the 3DS isn't really hurting in the games department with lots of original games still being made frequently for it, as opposed to the Wii U which has always been struggling. Porting the Wii U's most popular games to the 3DS just seems like a bad move for the Wii U to me, either that or they are just giving up on it with NX coming soon and trying to capitalize their most popular system before the NX comes out.

Not much of a surprise that they are porting Mario Maker over. Means one less game to play on the Wii U now.

Yeah, it seems like they are porting a bunch of Wii U games over like Yoshi's Wooly World as well.. not sure if it's an entirely smart choice since Mario Maker and Yoshi were some of the more popular games for Wii U.

If the rumor of them supporting the 3DS until 2018 is true then it makes sense to move some of the more popular games over to help continue to sell the 3DS.
